PROVIDENCE, r. l., April seldom was
there such lively interest manifested in an
election as that which was manifested in this
city and throughout the state Wednes-
day.
Full reports from all wards of the city
show that Davis, Democrat, for governor,
has been elected by majority OF 1900. 1t
is thought from returns thus far received
from the various towns that Davis will have
at least 200 majority in the whole state.
Some towns are yet to be heard from. but
the vote is so close that it will probably not
reduce Davis majority. AT late hour
Wednesday night, indications were that the
entire Democratic general ticket has been
elected.
The Democrats were jubilant in this city,
and large crowds thronged the newspaper, tel
egraph and other downtown offices.
LATER.-Davis' majority in the state will
probably reach 1000. This will also be
about the majority of the rest of the Demo
cratic ticket, including attorney general.
The woman suffrage amendment was de
feated by large majority.
The Legislature, as far as returns have beer
received, will stand: House--27 Repnb.

An lNQUISlTIVE ADMIRAL.
He Raises an Uproar at IA Britiih Liberal
Meeting

LONDON, April IA tremendous but short
lived uproar was caused at the meeting of
the council of the Liberal federation Wednes-
day by the introduction of motion by Sir
James kitson, president of the council that
the federation protest against tho coercion
bill
Admiral Maxse reused an uproar by ask
ing whether the crimes bill was not really an
anti-coercion measure aimed to suppress the
shameful coercion of the National league
He asked which form Of coercion English
Liberals should support. II English home
rulers were consistent about governing Ire
land according to Irish ideas they were
bound to let the country go, conceding that
absolute Independence which the National
lists wanted
An attempt was made TO hiss down the
speaker, but the chairman ruled that the
speaker was in order.
Continuing, the speaker said that this pur-
suit of the abstract principle of nationalism
would result in the abdication of England's
national responsibilities, and cause their
country to become weak and Insignificant
and liable to fall an easy prey to any ad join
ing nation that cultivated strength and con-
soidatlon while England cultivated dissoiu-
ton and decay. The speakers concluding
words were drowned with noise.
Considerable loud talk was INDUCED in,
but the motion was finally carried together
with a resolution of thanks to Mr.. Gladstone.

SWAPPING EXPERIENCES.


WASHINGTON CITY, April An unusu.
ally large crowd assembled in the East room
Wednesday afternoon to shake hands with
President Cleveland. The reception was not
marked by any incidents OF special interest.
Before coming down stairs the president, by
special appointment, received Mr.. Haverly,
the minstrel manager, and his business man
ager, MIR Hugh Coyle, in the library, and
had long talk with them. The man of
minstrel fame entertained the president with
an insight into the vicissitudes of the min
strel managers life, and in turn was charmed
and edited by the president who told him
of the trials and trihuations and duties Of a
chief magistrates life.
The president, MIR. Haverly said after
ward, didn't look blue and didn't talk blue.
and assured him that, all reports to the CON
trary notwithstanding the position brought
with it cares and duties AMI responsibilities
that afforded him plenty of mental and
physical exercise. The interview was for
these days rare, unique and agreeable, mas
much as Mr. Haverly called merely to pay
his respects and had nothing to ask for, aud
the president was not compelled TO make pro-
visonai promises

Gallagher AND plNksRToN
Make the Case Against Schwartz Still
Moro Complete.

Moro complete
MORRIS, Ills, April 7.-Gallagher contin-
ued his evidence in the Schwartz Watt trial
Wednesday morning. Schwartz, while in
jail, asked the witness if he could change
&, 900 in large bills into small ones, and Of
fered him 10 per cent out of it if he would do
it. To explain where he got the money,
Schwartz said that q friend of his had stolen
a pile of money from Jew on train. and
that he received the money. Witness asked
Schwartz how he thought Nichols was killed,
and the latter gave the following account of
the robbery and murder: Two trainmen
went into Watts car and tried to open the
safe with iron bars. They failed in this, and
went TO Nichols car after the key. Nichols
tore off the masks they had on, aud, he recog-
nizing them, it was necessary to kill him.
On cross-examination Gallagher said ne
was serving sentence for what "was tech
nically known as forgery" and admitted
that at the time of his conviction there were
pending about twenty indictments against
him for ballot-box stufiing, changing tally
sheets, and forgery, which were all dismissed.
Gallagher's testimony was disappointing,
as something much more startling waslooked
for, and it is the general belief that unless
1t is corroborated it would have been much
better for the prosecution had Gallagher not
been called
The next important witness was William
Pinkerton- He detailed at length the sew
eral interviews held with Watt and Schwart,
in which the latter admitted several time:
having found package containing about
Is, 600 Schwartz, in one interview, said he
found the package at Davenport, while or
another occasion he claimed that he found
1t at Joliet. Watt had received the packag,
from Schwartz, the latter said, but was en-
tirely ignorant of its contents. In join
interview with Schwartz and Watt, the lat
ter admitted the receipt Of the package, bu
said he could not produce it, as it was out O
his reach. Subsequently Watt denied hav
ing received the package, and refused to tall
| further about the matter. Mr.. Pinkertor
was rigidly cross-examined, after whicl
court adjourned, The general opinion seem
to be that Wednesdays testimony was ia,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April IAN official
of the passenger department of the Pennsyl-
vania railro said Wednesday in explana-
ton of the so-called boycott OF the various
railroad lines that refuse 10 accept the rule
adopted by the trunk lines and Central
Traffic association in regard TO the payment
+ commissi ons 10 agents:
The trunk lines, under their interpreta-
ton OF the Interstate commerce law, are re-
quired to maintain strictly all Rates pub
lished by them, and such rates can not be
maintained If other roads over which they
issue tickets are permitted to pay commits
sions to their agents. About thirty lines out
of several hundred will continue to pay COM
missions, and the trunk lines and Central
Traffic association have given them notice
that until they stop paying commissions the
trunk lines and Central Traffic association
will not exchange business with them. This
action must not be confused with any local
passenger business"
The fifty coupon-book tickets, which it was
said would be withdrawn OH the Pennsylva-
MIA road, will be continued, and 70 changes
in passenger fares or regulation are content
plated by the company.

THERE is great lesson in the result
of the Chicago municipal election of
Tuesday, and it teaches the world some>
thing that the American people may be
proud of. 1t is that no matter what
difference in opinion exists between the
two great political parties of America,
they will unite with one accord in putting
down any movement or uprising against
American Institutions, and against law
and order The country is safe as long
As such i condition of affairs exists,

and tie 50 called labor organizations,
which were associated with the recent
campaign a5ain>t law aud decency in the

Roche all praise is due; ii fully made up

PITTBURG, Pa, April "A most cowardly
attempt to assassinate the Rev. W. F. Lowry,
pastor of Browns African Methodist Episco-
pal chapel, corner of Boyle and Hemlock
streets, Allegheny City, was made on last
Sunday night. While the reverend gentle
man was in the midst of his discourse a rifle
ball, evidently aimed at Mr. Lowry's head,
crashed through q window at the side of the
pulpit, passed but an inch or two from his
head, and imbedded itself in the opposite
wall. Had not the leaden messenger struck
against the sash and deviated from its course
the minister would undoubtedly have been
either killed or seriously wounded. A Dor
ton of the audience, hearing the shot and no
ticing the result, hastily left the building,
but were unable to make any discoveries
The minister continued his speaking to the
end of the sermon. The only possible place
from which the bullet could have been fired
was the roof Of u building on the opposite
side of the alley.
For some time there has been dispute in
the society over the possession of piece of
property, and the church won the fight Two
members, Bruce and Kinney, were beaten
in the contest, and Kinney was absent for
the first time from service Sunday. Bruce
had entirely ceased attending. Mir. Lowry
refuses to believe that either of these linen is
the would-be assassin.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, April THE defense

Wednesday to present evidence impeaching
the testimony of the witnesses for the prose-

keepers. |. c. Hart said he was one of the
party that walked from Juuk's saloon to
where the murder was committed, and Arens.
dorf was not with them at all; nor was Arens-
dorf the man who fired the shot.
The next witness was Paul Leader, who is
a defendant in the case. He believed the
murder was committed by Leavitt, as the
assassin woro rubber coat and lisht-colored
trousers. Leader told his story in straight
forward manner and was not IN the least
confused by cross-examination. Mr.. Lead
er's business standing in the community is

far been upon the stand, and his evidence
